The obverse design of the 2026 1 oz Colorized Australian Platinum Lunar Horse Coin presents the official portrait of King Charles III. Shown in left-facing profile, the effigy reflects a clean, contemporary style created for Australian coinage by designer Dan Thorne. This marks the continued transition to the new monarch’s likeness across Australia’s circulating and bullion coin programs.

On the reverse of the 2026 Colorized Australian Platinum Lunar Horse Coin, the Perth Mint delivers a detailed and expressive image of a stallion rearing upward on its hind legs. The horse is shown with a flowing mane and tail, finished in a rich purple-black color scheme that adds depth and contrast to the design. Artistic depictions tied to the Fire Horse zodiac often emphasize motion and strength, and this image captures that energy through its bold posture and dramatic presentation.

The Fire Horse combination is traditionally associated with independence, creativity, and a willingness to move beyond familiar paths. In zodiac symbolism, this year is seen as a time when new ideas gain momentum and determination plays a key role in progress. These themes have long made Fire Horse releases especially appealing to collectors who appreciate cultural symbolism alongside precious metal content.

Each 2026 1 oz Colorized Australian Platinum Lunar Horse Coin is housed in a protective capsule and produced with a very limited mintage of just 888 coins. The number eight is widely regarded as a symbol of good fortune in Chinese culture, adding another layer of meaning to this release. Notably, this coin also represents the Perth Mint’s first-ever colorized platinum bullion issue, making it a distinctive addition to the Lunar Series III collection.
